TL;DR: Cultural relationship advice can be helpful, especially when it gives language to patterns we have ignored or endured for too long. It can also become limiting when we apply it without nuance. Relational discernment requires us to understand ourselves, notice our body cues, clarify our values, communicate honestly, and allow relationships to show us what they can hold.
